Saraswathy Rajamani, the woman who fooled the British by dressing as a man
Saraswathy Rajamani belonged to a very wealthy family but, decided to dedicate her life to following Subhas Chandra Bose.
She was just 16 years old when she joined the INA and donated all her jewelry to its cause.
She and five other girls then dressed up as boys and snooped on the British. They would then relay the information back to INA headquarters.
They usually worked as house helps in the camps occupied by the British military and had a good ear on all their activities.
An interesting story –
They were given explicit instructions that if they were caught they should shoot themselves immediately.
They were given explicit instructions that if they were caught they should shoot themselves immediately.
One girl was caught alive before she could shoot herself. Rajamani decided to rescue her.
She disguised herself and infiltrated the camp and drugged the British officers before they could do anything.
Then she fled with the other rescued girl.
A British officer shot her in the leg while she was running away, but she still escaped.
Her family owned gold mines and gave everything away for the freedom struggle.
Recently, she had to accept money from the Indian Government for sustenance.
